[Movie] Family Guy Composer Sued

Though I don't want to get into a long drawn out argument over whose opinion is more valid, Family Guy is a great fucking show. I find it funny. That's all. No more no less. I don't quite understand how someone might make the case that its original, in any of its properties, but since when does originality make something funny in and of itself?

Making references to pop culture is fine. It doesn't bug me as much it does some people. Its how that sense of culture is referenced that I consider humorous. I find that its easy for people to dislike something on account of its popularity...

Anyways, I am not surprised something like this would happen. Walter Murphy is a very good composer but there are obvious quotations from many films and series in the family guy musical framework. I always assumed that Fox would pay for the licensing to utilize these quotations, so not very good thinking on using "When you wish upon a star" without expressed written consent.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
